Be without fear in the face of your enemies
Be brave and upright that God may love thee
Speak the truth even if it leads to your death
Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong
This is your oath - RIP Mac Miller
WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.
It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.
It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.
It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.
That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.
You want a higher birth rate now?
Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.
That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.
You are being lied to.
Today I present to you the only inflation index that matters. The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla inflation index.
2001 Chicken quesadilla: $1.89
2026 Chicken quesadilla: $6.19
This is a total inflation of ~327% or an annualized amount of just over 6%/уear.
Don't let the lizard people in the government trick you into thinking inflation is 2-3% per year...plan accordingly.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@ThomasSowell All this outrage for women’s health being normalized. But zero action for child rapists ever increasing our cost of living? We are doomed to be ruled
@a_musingcat Freezing her eggs is going to hurt her presidency chances but being on a pedo list and a rapist didn't hurt Trump at all. That's where we stand sadly.
@notlouisckk Well we did replace gold standard with a war standard… so I mean why should the bully care about money? It’ll just take, enforce, and manipulate as is its nature
